No. 42–44: Former St. Josef family asylum
Since municipal housing construction in Vienna declined sharply in the 1930s due to the political and economic situation , so-called unemployment settlements were increasingly being built on the outskirts of the city, which were supposed to offer the numerous unemployed people looking for accommodation in a simple form . Following the example of the German National Socialist people's housing construction, seven residential complexes were built from 1935, which the Christian-Social City Administration called family asylums. These 830 apartments in total were made available to low-income and large families for a limited time only. Most of the time, however, it became a permanent home.
The aforementioned residential complex was named after Saint Joseph . The architect Franz Wiesmann built it in 1935/36 in simple, unadorned forms and, despite the limited resources available, tried to achieve a minimum of humanity in the design of the living space. The complex consists of 95 apartments in two courtyards, the corners on Troststrasse are set back as the only design element. Between 1991 and 1993 the residential complex was renovated .
On the side of Ettenreichgasse there is a large sculpture of Josef Heu on the house wall , which depicts Saint Joseph. During the National Socialist period, this figure had to give way to figures with the heroes of the time. After the war it was put back on the house. At that time, in 1951, a ceramic relief of Edmund Moiret's mother with children was created , which is on the side of Troststrasse.
The entire residential complex is under monument protection .
